Immersed in a scenery that fuses exotic and oriental elements is a sea-side town which overlooks the mountains that protect it. An open-air museum where the streets continue to bear the signs of its past: Palermo. A charming regional capital with, at times, a slightly decadent allure to it and yet sophisticated and elegant and one of the most dynamic and lively Sicilian towns.

Among the various pastimes it offers, shopping is certainly one of the most popular and is inspired by luxury and an avant-garde type of fashion. A good way to start your shopping spree is walking along its typical streets such as via Libertà, via Ruggero Settimo and via Maqueda. This area hosts some truly inviting and sophisticated boutiques offering the most prestigious brands of Made in Italy and of European fashion.

First stop: Giglio in Piazza Francesco Crispi. The brand’s nine outlets are all worth a visit. A must-go destination for a picky client who loves luxury and chic. The womenswear section covers an area of 1.200 square metres divided on two floors and comprising thirty big window displays. The range includes clothing, shoes and accessories of some of the best designers such as Balenciaga, Gucci, Iceberg, Missoni, Moschino and Valentino, to name a few.

The dsecon stop is Dell’Oglio. In the town centre, two elegant boutiques offer a highly selective range of clothes, shoes and accessories in a classic style. The menswear section varies from tailored pieces by Isaia and Brioni to the sportswear chic of Brunello Cucinelli and Burberry, from Car Shoe loafers to Church’s Derby shoes.

The third and last stop is Torregrossa in via Libertà 5. A space open to the most meticulous and eccentric fashion. Its range includes long dresses, suits, accessories, shoes and handbags. The boutique has been selling the collections of renowned designers since the 60’s, including names like J.P. Gaultier, Issey Miyake, Comme des Garçons, Yamamoto. With the opening of an impressive area devoted to the prestigious Maison Chanel in 1992, the boutique has become one of the most distinguished and luxurious in town.
